I have heard legends about people getting out of the friendzone. They say that if you go out with someone else, it could make the guy jealous. Also, increasing your social value (having a life outside of the the friendship, having other friends, doing other activities) will make you that much more appealing. Not to mention working out and taking care of yourself (in case you haven't been). Lastly, and most importantly, they emphasize that at some point you need to be direct about your feelings for him. Success is few and far inbetween, it is a long voyage of perseverance and perhaps sheer dumb luck. But alas those may just be legends. In the end, though, one person cannot make a relationship happen, he has to want it too. :)
